Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra on Saturday alleged that all political parties in Goa are colluding with the ruling BJP, and accused the Congress of doing nothing all these years. Addressing a press conference, Moitra also slammed BJP chief JP Nadda, saying that since his party was rejected in West Bengal, he was targeting the TMC in Goa.
The Mamata Banerjee-led TMC has decided to contest the assembly elections in BJP-ruled Goa, which is just a few months away. “All parties are together in Goa. If you want to defeat the BJP, the Congress has done nothing in all these years,” he said.
The TMC Lok Sabha member said, “(Senior Congress leader) P Chidambaram coming here one day and walking on the road is not going to do anything. I am here every day. Chidambaram comes here for a day and leaves.” “
She was referring to the recent Congress rally against inflation in the state, which was attended by Chidambaram, who is the Congress’ election observer for Goa.
Moitra spoke on three issues in Goa – destruction of the environment for three linear projects in the Mollem forest area, the refurbishment of the Kala Akademi project, and illegal structures in the archaeologically protected area of Old Goa.
He said that all the political parties in Goa have done nothing on these issues. “Congress raises every issue, but we haven’t seen constant questions and answers from them,” he alleged. Moitra said that the TMC is here to continuously question the BJP and put pressure on it. “TMC will take up these issues in Parliament,” he said.
When asked about Nadda’s recent statement against TMC’s rule in West Bengal, Moitra asked, “JP Nadda ji hai kaun? (Who is JP Nadda?)… He is the president of any national party, we should Why should I comment?
Nadda, during his recent visit to Goa, had alleged that the law and order situation in West Bengal was deteriorating under the Mamata Banerjee government.
Moitra further said, “Nadda went to Bengal and made allegations. But what happened? People of Bengal rejected him. Now, he can’t go to Bengal, so he is commenting in Goa. So I am national of some other party. Why should I comment? President? I wish him all the best.”
